Rap of the Week | Aug 19 - Aug 25 ’

In this week’s edition of our Rap of the Week playlist, where we highlight the best new releases from across the region’s hip-hop scene, we feature picks from heavyweights like Draganov and Ahmed Santa.

Moroccan rap icon Draganov continues his winning streak this year with a new single, ‘Tach’, touching on hustling, loyalty and the search for meaning in chaos. Meanwhile, Ahmed Santa samples Warda’s classic ‘Hekayty Ma3a El Zaman’ in his latest semi-diss track ‘Warda’. Adding to the mix, Arsenik delivers his latest cut, ‘Skoot’.

The playlist also features Sudanese rapper Connan linking up with Mshakil on ‘One Plus One’, Saudi rising star Msh3al with ‘AURA’, and Moroccan rapper Aymane Haqqi making a bold return with ‘L’Amour? La Mort!’, off his comeback EP, ‘The Backstory of Galilee’.
